      Half a million people watched this and no one said anything about Gulag Archipelago not being a novel but the story of Soviet labour camps where several million people died. Basically it is Soviet's Auschwitz where people died of cold, hunger, disease and torture. It is so disappointing to see people removed from history and consequently reality. It happened about 70 years ago, so new, so fresh yet we know nothing about it. Thans to our collective ignorance similar atrocities will happen again and again.

    At the end of my secondary education I spent a year as a non academic student in a 'prestigious' high school that groomed the deserving for University. I spent my productive time in the library and read every book of substance in that confined space. None of the books I read were on Peterson's list although I have read several in the intervening 60 years.
    Being in a position to learn is very much a gift and an accident of social situation.
    Although I did manage to drag myself up from a ridiculous primary and secondary education, I went back to school part time from Grade 8 (correspondence) and in evenings school classes and was eventually granted a prestigious scholarship. I earned a Physics and Physical Oceanography degree at age 35. I have to say that the formal education was of no value except to teach me how to teach myself and for that I remain so, so grateful.
    Peterson is a complex guy who speaks to me like a prairie farmer neighbour. I know him. I learn from him. I drive my nails straighter because of him.

    he's unpretentiously neither.
    I Don't feel anything but honored continue consuming what he has to say of truths, and putting these general guide lines that we all should thrive for as a journey and not an ultimate destination, but we were blindfolded somehow in our recent era. now I'm not only "learning" from him or/and flatter myself for having at least to think the same way he does, without a bit of the magnificent articulation he amuses us with, and that strikes us with epiphanies, I'm now "relating" to his slips and fuck ups, and the struggle we all can easily go back to no matter how good we are.
    To be honest, it's narcissistic thinking he's our superhero as we all love to hear those who are pretentiously flawless so that we are guaranteed whether it's truthful or not, but is it really about truths then? or just if he wins or loses before our projection starts. wrong. he's a human with a great mind, Introspection, reconnecting all the dots forming guidelines for not perfecting our lives but to make it at least worth it.

    I have read ‘The Fool’, ‘Grapes of Wrath’, and ‘Farewell to Arms’.
    I was immensely irritated by the over exaggeration of all of characters except the fool, in ‘The Fool’. He seemed to be the only realistic representation of a person. Maybe that was the point.
    The ending of ‘Grapes of Wrath’ still brings me to my knees. John Steinbeck is my favorite author.
    On the flip side, Hemingway is my least favorite author. His ultra fatalistic approach that mankind is doomed to death and destruction without hope is not my cup of tea, to say the least. He is, in my opinion, the antithesis to Steinbeck, who believed ultimately the choice was up to the individual. I will never read another Hemingway novel.

    1. Read it. Logotherapy helps many.
    2. Lomberg is a corrective to the Alarmist Climotologists
    3. Jung assists in overcoming the spell of modern disenchantment
    4. Brave New World is still one of the best dystopian novels
    5. The Idiot is Dostoevsky’s attempt to depict Christ as a Russian of his day.
    6. Nietzsche was wrong, but brilliant
    7. Not Orwell’s most popular, but perhaps better than others
    8. All religions hold portions of the Logos, other than Christianity, which revealed the Logos as flesh.
    9. Hemingway is one of the best writers we’ve ever had, but Old Man and the Sea his best
    10. Smith’s is a good, broad overview
    11. 1st one I haven’t read. Sounds rather technical, and Peterson’s evolutionary psychology is my least favorite part of his thought due to Darwinism’s ultimate errors, but I’ll give it a shot.
    12. Dust...so much dust...you are there and the reality is incredible
    13. Notes is short and sweet, but Brothers Karamazov is his best
    15. Stendahl’s best novel
    16. Solzhenitsyn is must reading as we are moving into the socialistic thought he found out was horrific in its application.
    18. Halfway through Maps of Meaning.

    I find it very interesting how Jordan Peterson really like the “Grapes of Wrath”, as it is the one books I have greatly loved, but yet many people didn’t like. Even my mom thought that book was an aberration and hated the vernacular speech that was illustrated on that book.

      Its more on the money than 1984 in my opinion.
      Animal farm is exactly what is happening with the leftists of this country trying to boot out the farmers.

    That cover foto of Mr. Peterson makes Him appear a fool. I resent that because I hold Him in high esteem. I am also aware of some of His health issues and pray for Him and His loved ones regularly. CMJ Canada
